Araby James Joyce’s prose Araby in Dubliners is a story written with a nameless first-person narrator.

In the article "Homeland" by Anna Maria Dell’oso‚ the issue of identity; in particular‚ cultural identity‚ is thoroughly explored by the composer. It is mainly about how identity is passed on from generation to generation‚ changes over time and is influenced by a person’s surroundings. The composer conveys this through her use of symbolism and sharp and often humourous contrast. It is about her search to find her Italian identity‚ while at the same time her mother loses some of her Italian identity
